WASHINGTON, D.C. -- There's good news and bad
news from the White House. The good news is that
Executive Order 13083 has been officially revoked, but
the bad news is that a new executive order on
Federalism has replaced it.
Governors, mayors, and citizens from all political parties
rallied together in an effort to abolish EO 13083 when it
was signed in May 1998. <a href=http://www.worldnetdaily.com/exclusiv/980626.ex.natl.id.card.html>WorldNetDaily first broke the
news of what initially appeared to be a non-threatening
document.</a> Elected officials were not aware of EO
13083 until WorldNetDaily asked for comments, but
they soon went to work to stop it.
Shortly after the nation's governors voted in the National
Governor's Association convention in opposition to the
order, President Clinton signed EO 13095 which
suspended 13083. Many expressed concern that it was
only suspended and not revoked.
The uprising of governors, who were joined by the
nation's mayors, was over the clever wording used by
President Clinton in EO 13083. Gov. Mike Leavitt,
R-Utah, protested loudly and claimed that EO 13083
did not clarify previous federalism executive orders -- it
destroyed them.
"This order (EO 13083) represents a 180-degree turn
from all previous federalism aimed to restrain federal
action over states," said Leavitt in disagreement with the
Clinton fact sheet issued at the time. "The current
version of this new order is written to justify federal
supremacy," he stated last year..........(more) [/quote]
